A certain Ronnie McKinley, of uk.rec.audio "fame", writes :

A DVD player will suit most people. I may have misunderstood it, but I
think the point was made in the context of a suggestion of what might
best fit his needs, rather than a detailed review of audio performance.

The poster asked: "I'm looking to purchase a new CD player and am
looking for the best product to purchase."

You strategically left out the £200. Perhaps the original poster could
expand on his requirements, rather than have the two of us guessing.

fact, he ("chap who advised looking at the DVD") would further claim
that any store bought budget DVD player would have no audible different
between say a £2000 Meridian (pick another if you like) CDP.

I do not remember reading the words "£2000", "Meridian", or "CDP" during
the thread.

Don't be a ****.

No need to get abusive. Not everyone is an "audiophile".

I'll reinstate the part of my post which you snipped.

That is as
far as his ideology (digital dogma) goes, how about yours?

I don't use ideology or dogma. I just listen and form conclusions.
